LIKE DAVID DID

December 7, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Like David Did

The Psalms came as music from David, the man after God’s own heart. He would sing psalms in good and bad times in His life. It was an outpouring of His raw emotion. As I was reading this beloved book of the bible, I felt the Holy Spirit say, “Sing them to me”. I was…

ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Anniversary Edition

This week marks my one year anniversary edition co-authoring, Lens of Faith. The Holy Spirit is the Author. It’s hard to believe that it’s been an entire year sitting down every week and speaking His divine revelations. He made it clear that he would speak through me when I started out hesitant and I am…

AMERICA’S CURE

Americas Cure

As I reflect on the latest tragedy in Las Vegas this week, my heart breaks. Unfortunately, this type of senseless violence is becoming common. Growing up, there where no signs of mass shootings, terrorist attacks and school shootings until Columbine in 1999. I remember sitting in my house so emotional and in complete shock; it…

LIVING FREE

Living Free 1

We all have a past. The one where we were young and foolish, the unsurrendered one, the one full of lessons that made us who we are today. True transformation leads to a distaste for the pleasures of your past. You see, sin is what you do when your not satisfied with Christ. As he…

ALREADY WRITTEN

God has great plans for us

Much of our lives are spent planning. What we will do, where and when we will go? Sometimes we pray about our plans and desires, hoping that God will jump on board and make it all happen. I was that person most of my life as a strong, independent woman. Even though I have loved…

HEAL OUR LAND

Heal Our Land 2

Saturday’s news of Charlottesville hit me hard. I have barely slept since and it has stirred up this great burden to cry out for my beloved America. Growing up in the diverse Bay Area, California, I can not relate to any of this. I had Chinese, Black, Puerto Rican, and Hispanic best friends, since I was…

TAKE A MOMENT

Take A Moment

Growing up a church girl, I’ve known all my life that Jesus died for my sins. Yet, the knowledge of that fact can become too common. The Sunday school stories too sweet. In reality, Jesus didn’t just die quickly for our sins. He was tortured, pierced, mocked, ridiculed by past followers and betrayed by close…

PROMISE KEEPER

Promise Keeper 3

One of the most comforting facts of life is that God never lies. In fact, it is impossible for Him to lie. Hebrews 6:18 Just let that sink in for a moment. It is impossible for God to lie. What comfort! In a world where we face disappointments, dishonest people and unreliable circumstances, we can…

CHARACTER REVEALED

character revealed

We all have those people in our lives, that we can only take in small doses. When we spend time with them we suddenly “become someone else.” Our default reaction is to blame that challenging person. Or situations that really cause us to feel or react negatively. But the truth is, that person or situation…
